Sigh.  I wish that people would publish such decisions, preferably
_before_ the changes are committed to the packages' CVS trees.

MSDOS is used in many DJGPP ports, which will break instantly if it is
not defined.

Yes, I know all about sys/version.h, but I don't think MSDOS belongs
there.  I also fail to see how putting MSDOS into sys/version.h will
evade fixincludes.

Also, does this mean that all Unix ports don't define "unix" anymore?

So please restore MSDOS in specs.
